Johnny Winter - Midsummer blizzard

In 1984, after a four-yeor hiatus from recording, Johnny leaped back into the national spotlight with his first album for Chicago's Alligator Records, Guitar Slinger. It was widely hailed as his best (and bluesiest) album ever, and charted in both Billboard and Cashbox as well as earning a Grammy nomination. The album produced Johnny's first video, "Don't Take Advantage of Me", which received regular play on MTV for over six months. He performed over a hundred concerts following the release of Guitar Slinger, and was featured in dozens of magazines and newspapers, as well as MTVs "Guitar Greats" special. In 1985, Johnny followed up Guitar Slinger with Serious Business, a scorching collection of what Johnny does best - rough and raucous electric blues. The album won Johnny his second Grammy nomination on Alligator Records and was introduced to over 200,000 fans on a month-long tour with George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers, playing major venues.
